Mango Bikes launch new Point R aluminium road bike range

Mango Bikes, a direct-sales specialist in customisable fixed wheel and singlespeed bikes, has just launched its brand new Point R road bike, with an aluminium frame, carbon fork and four models priced from £429 to £619. We’ve just got back from having an exclusive first look at the new bike which will be in stock at the end of next month.

Mango started life in 2012 with a vision of supplying university students with a low-cost and customisable form of transport, first with a singlespeed and then a geared version based on the same frame, and available with drop or flat handlebars. With this new Point R, and the women’s step-through bicycle we saw at the recent Spin London urban bike show, it's clear the young company has ambitions to cater for a wider audience, and specifically those cyclists looking for well designed bicycles at affordable prices.

The Point R was born from an ambitious brief "to develop the ultimate sub £1000 aluminium road bike, with all the features you’d expect from a bike twice the price," claims Mango. It's based around a new aluminium frame and carbon fibre fork that has been in development for the past year.

Mango will use the same frameset across the range, which starts at £429 for a Shimano Claris model, moving up to Sora for £479, Tiagra at £549 and topping out with 105 at £619. Each bike is offered with a £65 wheel upgrade to a pair of Vision Team 30 wheels.
